GoalsAccording to Bastable and Doody (2007), a goal is a specific, one-dimensional behavior. Goals are used to form a map to provide instructions on how to achieve a particular goal. In this lesson, students will have two objectives. The first is for student nurses to be able to identify all supplies needed to change a sterile dressing and to be able to correctly assess when a dressing needs to be changed or strengthened. The lesson plan will contain the following objectives:1. After classroom instruction, the student will identify all supplies needed to change a sterile dressing.2. Following a small group session, the student will be able to recognize the eight signs indicating that a sterile dressing needs to be changed or reinforced. These two behavioral learning objectives both fall within the cognitive domain. The first is at the level of knowledge, while the second is at the level of understanding (Bastable & Doody, 2007). The knowledge level assesses the student's ability to remember the information presented to them during teaching. The comprehension level then allows the student to take the information that has been presented to them and demonstrate that they understand the information and can put it into practice. One of the objectives of this course is for the student to be able to describe prevention strategies. in the care of adult medical-surgical clients. This lesson accomplishes this goal by preparing students to be able to identify all supplies needed to change a sterile dressing and to be able to correctly assess when a dressing needs to be changed or strengthened in order to prevent infection. Infection is the greatest risk that can compromise wound healing. Sta...... middle of paper ......sterile dressing before this lesson is taught a questionnaire will be given to them. The objective will be to determine the current state of students' skills, knowledge and abilities (Rouda & Kusy, Jr., 1995). The information I will look for is if students already know how to identify when a sterile dressing needs to be changed or strengthened and if they know the supplies needed to make a change and the process for making the change. This same questionnaire will be administered at the end of the course to see if the level of knowledge has changed. If the level of knowledge does not increase significantly, the design of the lesson plan may need to be evaluated to determine why it failed to provide learners with the desired knowledge. The lesson may need to be modified to be more effective..
